Thorough & Detailed
Our Inspections
When it comes to buying a home — especially in the luxury market of Palm Springs and the surrounding desert communities — precision matters. That’s exactly what you get with Precision Home Inspection, owned and operated by Tim Sanders, a highly respected inspector with more than 22 years of experience and over 13,000 home inspections completed.
Tim’s approach is different by design: he performs only one service — home inspections — and he does it personally, meticulously, and with laser focus on the home you’re purchasing. Whether you’re buying a mid-century gem in Palm Springs or a sprawling estate in Indian Wells, Tim brings you peace of mind with his thorough, unbiased, and detail-oriented inspection process.
FOR BUYERS
Pre-Purchase inspections
A buyer inspection gives you a clear, unbiased look at the home before closing. Tim Sanders identifies potential issues, safety concerns, and hidden defects, so you can make an informed purchase. With over 22 years of experience, Tim ensures buyers feel confident and protected during one of life’s biggest investments.
FOR Sellers
Pre-Listing Inspections
A seller inspection helps you avoid surprises by uncovering issues before listing your home. Tim Sanders provides an objective assessment so you can make repairs or disclose conditions upfront. This proactive approach builds buyer trust, speeds up negotiations, and reduces the risk of last-minute deal-breakers during escrow.
What’s Included
Tim Sanders follows the rigorous standards of the California Real Estate Inspection Association (CREIA). As a certified CREIA inspector since 2005 (member #155473), Tim evaluates all major systems and components of the home, including:
-
Roofing systems: Visible condition of roofing materials, drainage, and flashing
-
Structural components: Foundations, slabs, framing, walls, ceilings, and roof structures
-
Plumbing systems: Water supply lines, drainage, water heaters, and visible piping
-
Electrical systems: Main panels, branch wiring, outlets, GFCIs, AFCIs, and fixtures
-
HVAC systems: Heating, cooling, ductwork, filters, and visible components
-
Interior spaces: Windows, doors, walls, ceilings, floors, stairs, and cabinetry
-
Exterior: Siding, trim, grading, drainage, walkways, patios, and driveways
-
Attics and crawlspaces: Insulation, ventilation, framing, moisture issues
-
Built-in appliances: Operation of installed kitchen appliances
Each inspection includes a visual and functional evaluation, guided by industry best practices and years of hands-on knowledge. If Tim sees something concerning, he’ll explain it clearly — and let you know whether it’s cosmetic, functional, or potentially major.
What You Get: The Inspection Report
After every inspection, you’ll receive a detailed digital report, personally written by Tim — no auto-generated boilerplate or checklists here. The report includes:
-
High-resolution photos
-
Clear, objective findings
-
Straightforward explanations
-
Prioritized recommendations
Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor, you’ll find the report easy to read and useful. Tim is also available to answer questions before, during, and after the inspection, so you’re never left wondering what something means or what to do next.
A Different Kind of Home Inspection
Other inspection companies might juggle multiple inspectors, offer bundled services, or try to add more to the invoice. Tim keeps it simple. One service. One inspector. Full commitment.
This lean, focused approach has made Precision Home Inspection a trusted partner in the Coachella Valley real estate market. Tim doesn’t advertise flashy extras — he delivers solid results, proven reliability, and one of the most experienced inspection services in the region.
